Oh, its probably SEWER instead of WINDOW, to make it more about plumbing.
SAP and CHUMP could fit together, but Im not sure with what quite yet.
CHEESE, CORN, and EGG are all things that can be yellow, but that feels too imprecise.
That would fit with CHUMP, LOOSE, and SEA.
All right, were making progress.
Oh, theyre all food products, too.
That leaves KNUCKLES, EGG, SMILE, and WINDOW.
Wow, I have no idea what could link these words.
Youll see a game board with 16 tiles, each with one word or phrase.
Your job is to select a group of four tiles that have something in common.
Select four items and hit the Submit button.
If you guessed correctly, the category and color will be revealed.
(Yellow is easiest, followed by green, then blue, then purple.)
If your guess was incorrect, youll get a chance to hit it one more time.
You win when youve correctly identified all four groups.
But if you make four mistakes before you finish, the game ends and the answers are revealed.
Expect to see overlapping groups.
So dont hit submit until youve confirmed that your group of four containsonlythose four things.
If youre stuck, another strategy is to look at the words that seem to havenoconnection to the others.
